jdckelly Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Everyone knows we've got loads of money now, no idea why this would make it more likely that we'll spend in the next few days. It's the total opposite IMO. Exactly why our policy of not getting a replacement in first is fucking mental. And why the thick cunts running the club cant see it is beyond logic. because the club isn't run on football terms but business terms its as simple as that. How does that work when the price of player we want to buy is pushed up because they know we have lots of money. Of course, we just dont bother with the buying bit the club waits until the summer to replace him, lower prices more prep time and from ashleys pov avoid any possibility of europe We've bought just Anita in the last two summers so that theory isn't playing out well. the only previous on this was post carroll so applying the same logic as then as to now.

TRon Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25917101 a £19m deal, that will rise beyond £20m with add-ons, has now been reached. Fellaini £27.5m > Cabaye £19m We've been mugged Shit on from a height whilst being mugged, raped and beaten. The only reason Man U spent £27.5m on Fellaini was because Moyes was taking his long ball logic to his new work place. It was the equivalent of appointing Pardew as manager of Barcelona.

midds Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Bye bye Cabaye, bye bye Cabaye, sold by the fat cunt in the stands, cos he sold Cabaye, Yohan Cabaye, he's got a riot on his hands... etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Club will be on a massive downer going into derby day. A game Pardew struggles to get a performance out of his team for - it doesn't bode well. We've got tomorrow first. A win tomorrow and we should be confident. Given that Cabaye has been our talisman of late and is a leader amongst the group, added to seeing one of, if not, our best players leave it'll be interesting to see what sort of performance we turn in tomorrow. It's an easy excuse for all to turn in a half arsed display but at the same time it's a chance to do it for Yo etc. Depends what Pardew does. Will he move Sissoko into the middle and bring in Ben Arfa? Or will he leave Sissoko on the right and bring in Ameobi up front with Remy.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 If its anything under £20m and they haven't got significant addons in their they've totally lost the plot. Well over two years on his contract and a world cup coming up, don't see why £25m is unreasonable. Anything close to £20m is a pretty good deal really. Another season in a Pardew team and he would have been worth less than £10m. We should thank our lucky stars PSG have suddenly come into money because no English club would have spent anywhere close to that because he's not really built for English football. Which says more about our club than the others, considering he is frequently the best player on the pitch for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 We're selling one of our best players for way under his valuation with four days of the transfer window left and less than a week until the derby, and some fans are falling over themselves to defend the decision/make excuses for it (Not necessarily on here). Mike Ashley has got this club and the fans EXACTLY where he wants them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jtm_92 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Just registered and in all honesty, anything less than 25 million and we have been robbed surely if the likes of fellaini and co go for 25 million plus but guess who wins again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouldy_uk Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Shay Given aside, we've generally done well at holding out for hefty prices. With a business hat on; selling Cabaye for £20m means we've made back five times what we paid. That's why we'll have accepted at this point, instead of holding out for more. Yay, we won at spreadsheets (________)o(___) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 No excuses now for not having enough time, more than enough time to get a deal done for a replacement. Don't want excuses like we didn't want to panic buy. Just panic and get some fucker in! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 What's worse is I severely doubt cabaye wouldn't have still given his best had we forced him to stay. No ambition or even sense to this. We could have got more if we waited till summer. suppose it depends on what Cabaye said to them, in theory he could have said he'd use the Webster Rule in the summer if we don't sell now.

chicago_shearer Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'm annoyed but not as annoyed as I will be if we fail to get a result on Saturday and Pardew starts telling a reporter that it's not his fault because we lost Cabaye at the wrong time and replacements aren't "over the line."

Yay, we won at spreadsheets (________)o(___) I was talking to a friend of a friend in the pub the other day, talking about football. I was bemoaning our lack of ambition in the transfer window, how our expectations have been lowered so much the last few years, etc etc, and he started going on about how we've now got a much more sustainable wage bill, how it was once 85% of turnover, how now it's much more sensible and how with the new tv deal coming in, and commercial revenue on the rise, the figures look much better. I suddenly found myself reflecting that this must be how it would feel to be a supporter of, say, Marks and Spencer or WH Smiths or something, pleasure reduced to financial figures. Depressing.

Ameritoon Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Doesn't even make the most sense financially. Could just hold onto him for 6 months, if his form keeps up plus a World Cup we should easily be able to get a larger fee and the squad is in better shape. Ashley is the most ineffective penny pincher ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ElCid Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 We have no excuses for not bringing anyone in, we have the money and while 4 days doesn't seem long. In a transfer window it f***ing ages. This will simply be down to whether we want to buy, or even bother to try. We should have some surplus TV money as well. The fact we are selling before we buy is a joke Tis a massive joke, f***ing hate supporting us sometimes. As I said earlier if there are no replacement of sufficient quality, then I put the white flag up and will not continue to support this regime until the cockney t***s have all gone. I will return when they do leave be it a year, five or ten year but I just cannot support something when they are actually taking the p*ss out of all of us. There needs to be a time when enough is enough. Ive been through the bleak days in the late 70's and 80's, but even with the likes of Seymour and McKeag I have never felt so blatantly and obvious hate of people taking the p*ss out of my support and whom have no care in the world about the club I love. And for all you people whp have tried to stick up for this regime in the past - you either don't have a clue or you just don't really care. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
